Your right Patrick, i was insanely disapointed that Tommy Lee Jones just comes back after his arc felt complete. And Linda Fiorentino got severly shafted!
I remember when I watched the original and thought the sequel would be Will Smith and Linda Fiorentino wearing the suits they had at the end of this one. Needless to say, when I found out what the actual sequel was like, I was disappointed.
Florenteno's carrer never taking off might actually be crime. She picked fights on Dogma with Weinstein, we don't know over what but he did a number to her carrer after that.
Was gonna say... how can you point out that a talented woman's career basically disappeared, right after a Weinstein film, and not even hint at a connection?
The clip from MTV's Jackass with Bam Margera spouting off Eggar's lines at the golf course gets me every time. "YOU DON'T MATTER! IN TWENTY SECONDS YOU WON'T EVEN BE MATTER!"
I bought one of Hank's Hammers, and I must say, it hits like no other. I accidentally hit my thumb and it blew up like a hotdog in the microwave. Thanks Hanks!
Your parents are always awesome when they feature in the videos, which obviously makes the Patrick Explains series amazing. You guys keep doing what you're doing.
Patrick's Bereavement Boxes. OMG, I fell over laughing. But you officially went over my line for "New York as a character" insights. I suppose that was deliberate, but just in case it wasn't, blech!
Men in Black, who could forget this? I watched this movies with all kinds of people to observe their reactions, and they all love it. Even Empire Strikes Back couldn't achieve such feat.
Thanks for shouting out the cartoon. So underrated and easily the best follow-up to the first film we've had yet. My biggest gripe with MIB 2 is actually just that it rendered the animated series non-canon.
"We failed Linda Fiorentino,"...oh yeah, I have been thinking this since I recently re-watched "Vision Quest" (from 1985). I wanted to check out how it fared as a sports movie and how Matthew Modine was in it. While I hadn't forgotten that Linda was in it, I was impressed by her performance (the movie is fine). I also watched "After Hours," not knowing that she was also in that movie; again, she was great in an unconventional supporting role. Hollywood clearly didn't know what to do with her at the time, considering her notable later movies included "The Last Seduction," MIB, and then Dogma. My takeaway was that she was too capable and droll. They thought she was attractive enough to be a femme fatale, but perhaps not likeable/accessible enough to be a lead in a romantic comedy.?
MiB is one of my favorite movies of all time. I rewatched so much as a kid. Even now whenever I put on a suit or sunglasses I say: You know what's the difference between you and me? I make this look good. While the second film is terrible I think the third one is actually really good. It has a lot of very emotional moments, Josh Brolin as a young K is fucking amazing and perfect and I really love some of the side characters like the fat guy with the time machine, Andy Warhol and of course the 4th dimension future seeing alien hobo guy. Not as great as the first one but still very good.
Could you please talk about The Prince of Egypt next time, I feel like it is a film that has been forgotten about by nearly everyone. Even Dreamworks has kinda forgotten about it, and it is one of the best animated movies of the 90s.
If I could change one thing in MIB to make it perfect, it would be the ending. K shouldn't have retired in that scene. It makes no sense to claim that K has been training his own replacement when J is CLEARLY there to replace D, who retired at the beginning. J's only been on the job two days, how the hell is he supposed to train L? The drama and the 'full circle' nature of the scene don't really land. And keeping K on the job would have improved MiB2, which had to spend much of its runtime undoing that twist. Naturally, they HAD to bring K back because they're a team and the chemistry is so good, but wouldn't it have been so much easier to just film a different ending? (And, of course, the cartoon just pretended K never retired.) It would have been nice to do three MiB movies (or more) with J and K, and have the THIRD movie end with that scene, to really hammer it home, end on a high note.
Die Hard with a Vengeance is a very underrated New York movie it feels like u are really there i was really hoping he would mention it i could go on for days about that one
I always heard that the reason Linda Fiorentinos career didn't take off was because she was difficult to work with. Kevin Smith even alluded to it in one of his "Evening With" talks.
Not convinced Ed Solomon would have done the sequels justice. Yes, he wrote Bill & Ted and Men in Black. He also wrote Now You See Me 1 and 2. And Super Mario Bros. Also: Linda Fiorentino's career never took off because she is (allegedly) notoriously difficult to work with. Rumor is that the reason Tommy Lee Jones only returned for MIB 2 under the stipulation that Fiorentino wouldn't.
Okay. I'll admit it - I'd never given Barry Sonnenfeld a fair shake on his own. I saw the parallels between him & Tim Burton from the beginning, wrote him off as a wannabe & left him in that lane for at least a good 20 years. Not saying it's fair but it's what I did at the time & felt very comfortable about doing so.
Linda Fiorentino, we need you now more than ever. Seriously, if she wasn't going to be in movies anymore then someone should've cast her in some prestige tv like 8 years ago. What is wrong with you Hollywood???
Linda Fiorentina should have been a massive star after The Last Seduction and would have got award recognition for it had the film not been shown on cable before going into cinemas thus eliminating it from getting nominated. (Hello Netflix). Also, another film that blends action, sci-fi and comedy very well is The Mummy (1999). I would even go as far as saying that its even funnier than MiB. But yeah, MiB still rocks. Hard.
The cartoon was honestly the best continuation of the show and series and I highly advise anyone who enjoyed the first movie to watch it to get more of the world and its lore. It's that good.
"Isn't it interesting that we learn nothing about Will's backstory...how he and Tommy have no forced conflict to resolve?" Welp...the third movie happened.
I was so excited when I found this video because I knew I could finally convince my girlfriend how great men in black was. She told me "I'm not watching that". So, fuck.
I have been wondering for years what happened to Linda Fiorentino. Dunno why she retired, but I hope it wasn't some Weinstein-type scenario which turned her off from the industry, loved her in Dogma, hope she's okay.
Can't wait for the James Charles style apology video where he blubbers a self obsessed apology for how he treated them like objects. Of course followed by a slow redemption arc where he moves back in with his parents, reconnects with his roots, gets back on top wiser and stronger than ever before.
@@anthonywheeler2082 hadn't P. Verhoeven and S. Stone killed the game two years earlier, her launchpad could've been Last Seduction in '94 where she's brilliant.
You know I never noticed that the lady in men and black ISNT Will Smith’s love interest. Like there was that joke scene where he thinks she’s flirting with him but in reality she’s a hostage, but aside that they didn’t even imply anything romantic. I really appreciate that, it’s rare that a woman gets to just be a cool supportive character and not a guy’s little trophy
Huh, Men and Black is owned by Marvel. So we can just pretend the newest one is just Thor and Valkyrie in one of the other 14 million realities Dr. Strange mentioned.
Idk about you, but I was gonna do that anyway. I hope it really delivers on the buddy cop aspect, I am more focused on that than even it being actually good. I just want male/female platonic parings to get popular in mainstream media. It would just make me so happy.
Barry Sonnenfeld was one of the showrunners for and directed several episodes of the recent A Series Of Unfortunate Events adaptation on Netflix, which is probably the best thing he’s done since MIB
Also can’t forget the short lived series he did for The Tick starring Patrick Warburton. Sonnenfeld has claimed that the pilot was the most fun he ever had directing something.

So true! I loved will Smith's chemistry with the lady from the morgue. And I loved that there was only a little flirting, but no actual romance just a partnership type thing with the two.

Linda Fiorentino was apparently a nightmare to work with and that's what you get when you're difficult.
I always heard that the reason Linda Fiorentinos career didn't take off was because she was difficult to work with. Kevin Smith even alluded to it in one of his "Evening With" talks.
But was she actually difficult to work with or was she Ashley Judd "difficult to work with"?
